Pillowtop mattress problems

Hi, we have been struggling to find the right bed for years. We had to dispose of a new memory foam mattress as we both hated it and it was far too hot for my husband who is a hot sleeper. The pillowtop which followed was similarly useless. We recently bought a new rigid slatted wooden bed and were amazed at how much more rigid our Silentnight mattress is on it, far too firm for my husband!
I am desperate to get the most comfortable mattress we can afford for the new bed as I cannot believe how comfortable beds in even budget hotels seem by comparison. We both seem to sleep well on these. My husband is six foot and around 12 and a half stone while I am 5 foot 3 and around 10 stone. He tends to prefer a very slightly softer feel. Your website is great. I have learned more from it in two days than years of searching. Can you advise?

Hi Liz,
Thank you for your question.
The crucial thing to know is how much your budget is.
Both your weights do not require anything that is all singing and dancing - adequate support and adequate comfort should give you the basis of the mattress you both need.
We have two ranges of pocket sprung mattresses, the Origins Range which contain man made fillings and come with a medium spring tension and the Artisan Range which contain natural fillings and which can be made with a medium spring tension. The medium tension is correct for both your body weights and will give you the correct support.
| Bodyweight | Spring tension |
|---|---|
| Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kg | Medium (1.4mm) |
| 16 Stone / 101kg Upwards | Firm (1.6mm) |
| Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call) | Soft (1.2mm) |
In the Origins Range I would recommend the Origins Comfort 1000 which has slightly softer comfort layers together with the correct support. In the Artisan Range I would recommend looking at the Artisan Naturals which contains 85% natural fillings and has a more medium comfort layer but is the most popular mattress that we sell as it is a very comfortable mattress and extremely good value for money.
It may be preferable for you to telephone our office on 0161 437 4419 to have a discussion with one of our Advisors who will be able to assist you further.
Kind regards Julie
